I live in the Outer Richmond district and I feel this environment has affected me in a good way. The Outer Richmond is a really nice place to live because I feel it is very secure. The people that I am surrounded by are kind and keep to themselves. In my neighborhood I feel that there are many things to do, such as: Go to the beach, go to the park, or go to a variety of good restaurants that serve delicious food. In my neighborhood I think there may have been gentrification in the past because of how clean the area is compared to other parts of the city. I also feel in a good environment like the one I live in is a great motivation in moving forward to reaching my goals.

I am who I am despite the neighborhood I live in because of many things. I have never been in one neighborhood for a long period of time. I always moved from city to city learning new things about new communities. Living in this new community in the Outer Richmond has changed me in a way that my personality has changed when I leave my house. I know not to try and start problems or get into trouble what so ever. I feel this community has been a great influence on my life and would not like to move. It's an environment that I can feel safe in and know that when I leave my house I will be fine. I will always know where I came from and remember all the communities and environments that I've lived in. I like to take what I've learned in other places and apply the positive things to my life in the place I live now. So yes this new environment of the Outer Richmond plays a big part in my life making me want to move forward to possibly one day being able to live stable in an environment like this one.
